Breaking In's resurrection meant Odette Annable suddenly found herself shooting two series simultaneously, as she'd joined House after Breaking In was cancelled. Having both her series on the same network helped, but ultimately, the trouble of scheduling her meant they had to write her out of Breaking In early in the season.

The cast all agreed the episode where Melanie leaves Contra is a particularly strong one, with Harrison remarking that by the end of it, when it comes to the audience, "I don't think they're going to want her to leave" and adding, "Since she's been gone, you really do miss Odette's character."

Goldberg noted that Annable actually shot four episodes of the show, but that, "the one that she leaves is so strong that FOX was like, 'We want that to air as soon as possible.' So we had to re-shoot an episode where she only had a couple of things to do to take her out, because the episode where she leaves… it's the pinnacle of what the show can be I think and it's the third episode, which is great. it's just very emotional and cool."

Goldberg revealed that in the episode, "The Blind Sided," airing next week, "Cash builds a metal statue of Melanie as an epic gesture [for Cameron], like, 'Give this to Melanie and she'll fall in love with you!' And it just freaks Melanie out and they go on this whole adventure. " Don't worry though, House will wrap its season before Breaking In does, and Goldberg stressed Annable will be seen again: "We're going to bring her back as soon as she's available. "

To Heist or not to Heist?

It simply wasn't possible, on a budgetary level, to have every episode be as high concept and involving as many sets as Season 1, which always took the cast to different locations, as Contra went on various missions. In Season 2, the show will be centered more around the Contra Office, though the missions are not discarded completely. Harrison said a particular highlight for him was in the episode airing this week, admitting, "The Maxim party that we did security for… it was a lot of fun. Come on! Girls walking around in bikinis all day. It was a hard day at work."

Goldberg revealed the intention was to keep the heist feel of the show even when the heists themselves aren't seen all the time. One upcoming episode involves Oz trying to repel a girl who likes him, using Cash as a conduit on what not to say to keep a girl interested. Goldberg said that results in, "Oz talking about how he's on a quidditch team and his favorite three words are 'Chronicles of Riddick' and all these things. It feels like a heist, because they're talking through earpieces and there's the van and they're undercover, but it's not like, 'We're protecting a zoo!' It's more about the characters and the office and using their special skills."

Gleaming the Untamed Heathers Kuffs:

Breaking In has had a long, strange journey, having initially been passed on after the pilot was shot, only for the network to reconsider and order it to series months later. Slater said that after the show was then cancelled last year, "I had to let go of it again. But I never really believed that it was going to end. For some reason, I had this feeling… Even when they told me that it was not going to come back, I was like, 'Really!? I don't know… I don't necessarily believe it entirely.' I guess the first analogy that popped into my mind was Tinkerbell. When Tinkerbell drinks the poison and Peter Pan gets everybody in the audience to say, 'I do believe in fairies! I do believe in fairies!' So that's kind of how I felt. I felt a little bit like this was a Tinkerbelle kind of scenario and it was really the audience going, 'No, I do believe in Breaking In! I do believe in Breaking In!'"

Slater was excited about nods to the original Thomas Crown Affair in an upcoming episode, and revealed, "We're trying to do a little bit of a Courtship of Eddie's Father type of thing with my old nemesis played by Samm Levine, who's hilarious."

A big Star Wars fan, Slater also noted, "Anytime I get to quote Harrison Ford as Han Solo is great. In one of the episodes I have a coffee machine that is just… It looks like the Millennium Falcon. It's so beat up and Veronica is like, 'What a piece of junk!' I say, 'Well, she'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I made a few special modifications myself…. You want a cup?!' So anytime I get a chance to incorporate some of those moments, I get a kick out of it."

Goldberg said he and the writers have a lot of fun putting in references to Slater's own movie career. Look for an upcoming line of dialogue to reference his romantic drama Untamed Heart, while Goldberg mentioned how Slater himself improvised a line where he worked in saying, "George Kuffs" – the main character in the Slater film, Kuffs.

Goldberg also revealed that Slater let him know someone had given him his own jacket from the skateboarding film Gleaming the Cube. Added Goldberg, "And I know a writer who knows Tony Hawk. So then I'm like, we have to do an episode where there's some kind of cube that needs to be... gleamed! And you and Tony Hawk are trying to get it and you wear the jacket!" Goldberg laughed, adding, " I don't know. It's not a good way to think of episodes, but it's what we do on this show. We want to have Slater on a skateboard with Tony Hawk. Why wouldn't you?"

Breaking In airs Tuesdays at 9:30 on FOX after New Girl.
